ALLEYS SIDE.

Since our publication Of young Stein
metz side of :he Bomback-Alley sontro-
yersy we have seen Alley, and an isquiry
Tor his version ELECTED the following in
Elihu's own irimitable manner: "Well,
begad, just publish how two lit.le trials
set before Justice Dowell terminate, and
guess they will find old Alley and his
boys won't he hung this week" The first
case called was Alley VS. Bomback and
Standardization brought for robbery.
The evidence showed Bomback's cattle
had trespassed more or less on Alley, do
ing considerable damage to grvin and
property fer which be had taken up the
cattle until reparation of his losses were
made. Bomback and Stainmetz came for
the cattle, refused 10 Iay damages, had a
lot Of hot talk, during which Bombsck
Aourished knife and Steinmetz held
revolver on one Of Alleys boys. Another
son, sLppcsing steinmstz was gong to
shoot his brother, got his shot gun and
fred at the haAs that held the revolver.
Justice Dowell held Bon back to appear
before the grand jury in the sum of $500,
and Steinmetz in 800, on his own re-
conizance. The other case, Bonhack VS..
Allen and three sons, for shooting with
intent to commit murder, was disn issed as
10 Alley and two sons by the District At
torney. The case of JOHN Alley was sub
mitted on the evidence taken in the first
case, and dismissed BY Justice Dowell. 1t
is evident IN this showing the Alleys have
the best sido of the matter.

The anti -divisionists, Of course demo-
Gratis, are trying to make capital out OF the
fact that division carried by 'only 5000
majority" which amo Ints to nothing.
We believe these reports are doctored at
Bismarck, but suppose they are not.
Our principal government makes 10 na-
iority Just as effective as 10000. As an
illustration we call attention TO the fact
that Cleveland holds the Presidency by
practically "only 1000 majority" the
number of votes he received in New York
in excess OF Mr.. Blaine Yet no Repub-
iican ever claimed that majority was lot
effective enoagh. II Dakota's vote be
Whitfield down to 900 for division still 1t
is sufficient. because the majority voting
says SO.

| rsrv fsx Of the cnterprising town

very few Of the enterprising towns OF
South Dakota have secured pork packing
houses enough, however TO amply prove
they are profitable 10 any comnunnitv.
MANY residents of Miller and Hand unity
who have lived in Iowa and other corn
growing statss need no introduction TO
this system Of increasing the revenues OF
the farm. IL has been demonstrated time
and again that many raw products OF the
farm, such as corn, root vegetables etc
sold direct to the shippers bring little OF
no profit. And 1t has been as clearly
shown that the same products fed TO hogs
or any kind of stock, double and triple the
receipts nom the same amount OF capital
and work invested. We long for the time
when the farmers Of Hand county viii
raise enough hogs to justify the erection
OF a packing house here. And we believe
that time Is not far di,tant, because OF the
popular sentiment tending towards corr
growing and general siock-rnising The
loads OF corn now being hauled to market
are the shadows Of coming sverts, and th'
certain forerunners Of hundreds OF por'

THE PACIFIC CABLE.
Importance of the Proposed British -Amer-

Importance of the Proposed British-Am
 ican and Hong Kong Cable Line.
 The time is not distant when the whole globe will be covered with a net work of telegraph wires, Nearly all commercial ports on every continent are now in communication with the centers of trade in Europe and Amer ica. The last great gap is about to be filled up by the laying of cables under the Pacific ocean. A company of Brit ish capitalists has been organized to lay cable from Vancouver, B. C., to Hong Kong, China. There will be branches and connections with Japan and the principal islands of the Pacific ocean. The importance of this multi plication of verbal communication between different parts of the world can not be overestimated. For one thing, it will probably lay the basis for al universal language-a telegraphic code will be established that can be read by operators the world over. Then, as has been frequently pointed out, mer- cantile profits are reduced to a mini mum when a knowledge of prices in. the various markets is flashed in- simultaneously from the buying to the selling marts of trade. The enormous profits of former periods was simply an insurance against the risks of sending cargoes to distant ports in ignorance of the prices that might prevail when the vessels reached their destinations. There are also those who dream that this instantaneous communication be tween one end of the earth and the other may bring about single gov ernment for the whole globe, and thus usher in the era when peace will pre- vail, and industry be the one material pursuit of mankind. The labor ques- ton can never be settled until there is an agreement all over the world as to what the workingmen's share of the aggregate production shall be.-Dem- OreSES MdQdzine

PASTEUR'S WORK.
One of the Most Beneficial DisccTerie Made by the Great French Scientist.

One of the Most Beneficial Discoveries
 Made by the Great French Scientist.
 PasteuTs next work was to demOn- strate that spontaneous generation was a myth; and he then discovered the germ which caused so much havoc among the silk-wOrms of France and other countries. He demonstrated that the disease among the silk-wOrms was contagious, and gave practical direc- tions for its prevention, which restored the silk industry to Europe. This work led him to the great work of his life the development of the theory of the parasitic origin of communicable dis eases; and in this effort he took up the disease known as anthrax or splenic fever which was decimating the flocks of all Europe. He put drop of splenic- fever blood into sterilized yeast water; in a few hours it swarmed with myriads of bacteria. A drop of the first cultivation he put into a second flask containing the same kind of liquid and the bacteria multiplied as before.
 The process he repeated fifteen or twenty times, and by this means freed the initial drop of blood from any sub stance it might have carried with it. And now, if drop of this last culti- vation is injected under the skin of rabbit or a sheep, the animal dIes with all the symptoms of idiopathic splenic fever. Pasteur had studied vaccina- tion, and he now undertook to .'vacci- nate for protection of animals against splenic fever. Before the close of the year 1881 Pasteur had ''yaccinated" 33,946 animals. In 1882 the number amounted to 399, 102, including 47,000 oxen and 1000 horses. In 1883 100000 were added to the list. In 1881 it was the common practice of farmers to '.vaccinate" one half of their herd and leave the remaining half unprotected. It was found at the close of the year that the loss in protected sbeep was ten times less than in the unprotected, being l to 740 as against in IS. In cows and oxen it was fourteen times less

REAL INTEGRITY.
The Act of a Young Man Bootblack, Which Shows How ''the Boy Is Father to the Man"

The Act of Young Man Bootblack, Which Shows How "the Boy Is Father to the Man"
 "Shine, sir?'
 And a bright, manipulating lad of nine summers stepped up to a gentle man in the Grand Central depot New York, and casting his large brown eyes up into his face, asked: "Shine, sir?" q want my shoes polished, " said the gentleman.
 'Then, would be glad to shine them," replied the boy.
 Have time to catch the Baltimore and Ohio trainP"
 No time to lose, sir. I can give you good job before it pulls out. "
 'Certain of it?''
 "Yes, sir. Shall I?''
 "Yes."
 And in pair of seconds the boot black was down on his knees, and placing his box in preparation, was at work.
 Don't let me get left" said the gentleman.
 q won't, sir," replied the boy, as he piled both brushes with rapidity. Whats your name?"
 Paul Fay"
 '.Is your father living3" ''No, sir, he is dead-no one but mother, and the children. The train is going, sir."
 The gentleman reached his hand in his pocket, and drawing out silver half dollar handed it to the boy, who pulled out lot of change, and began to count out the correct amount. The gentleman moved off toward the train fearing he would get left and before the little fellow could get to him the train pulled out.

 Take Care of the Babies.

The great mortality among children isVery noticeable in the death rates of most American cities. It would be greatly lessened if parents would use some common sense. Babies are much more susceptible to cold than are. adults, and yet a mother will go out, herself warmly clad from head to foot, and all low her child to batter beside her on the cold pavement in its little house shoes. Another practice which should be pro tested against is allowing a nurse to stand near window with the babe in her arms while she indulges her curi- osity in looking at the passers-by. Many a baby has had an attack of croup from the cold which radiated from the win dow on the delicate little lungs or legs. Even with double sash there is generally cold air coming through the openings, and the panes themselves, with the weather at zero, chill the air in the close vicinity. Detroit Tribune
The Arizona sentinel., 1887-04-02

Two years later the same gentleman was called to New York on business. He had forgotten the little bootblack and his forty-ive cents change.
 As he wandered up the street the second day after his arrival, he was approached by lad who said:
 Were you ever here before?"
 ';Yes, bubby," was the reply.
 'iWhen?" the boy asked. :. About two years ago"
 |. ':Didn't I shine your shoes at the Grand Central depot?"
 ''Some boy did.' 7r
 ''Well, I am the boy, sir, and owe you forty-five cents. tried to get to the train, but n't-honestly I couldn't+and here is your money. I was afraid would never see you again. I didn't intend to keep your money" and saying this, the boy pulled oat a lot of change, and, taking forty-fve cents, proffered it to the gentleman.
 The letter-written in Atlanta, Ga. which relates the above incident with it's pleasant sequel, mentions the recent death of MT. -, one of the most up- right and honored citizens of that city. He was the boy who many years ago blacked the New York gentleman's boots at the .'Grand Central and re- turned the change.
 The fact that the New York gentle man was so pleased with little Paul that he adopted him and educated him, only adds circumstance to the biog- raphy of a boy who probably would have grown up good man without the aid of wealthy friends. One act of simple integrity illustrated his eharac- ter-and his sacrifice to principle was gain, here and eternal. Kotsth's Com- pdnion.

Saw-Dust for Litter.

Pine saw-dust is of no value as man, ure, and from considerable experience with it some years ago, when it was used for bedding for twenty head of horse and work cattle, we would never use it again. The manure was so dry and light that it mildewed and fire fanged in spite of all efforts, and when plowed in for crop of potatoes there was a very small yield as far as this manure went. Hard wood saw-dust, on the other hand, is far better; it de cays quickly and keeps moist. We are using as much of it as we can procurs for littering horses and cows and con sider it valuable. The two manures, however, should be mixed together as the horse manure is apt to heat toa mueh.-M r. Times.
